The Shayz Lounge by Athena Papas
I want one stained pencil scribbling barely legible against grainy brown paper love letter jotted down on the back of recycled napkin,
one thinking-of-you pack of cowboy killer cigarettes, discounted bottle of Chianti, a blood moon stain on the end table.
One moment of the jukebox making me feel the pulse of fingertips until the record ends.
